Why Katsina got 51 DSS slotsHowever, Saturday Vanguard, has learned that the recent Cadet officers recruitment by the DSS where 51 slots were allocated to Katsina State was a corrective exercise. The Service has come under heavy criticism for allocating such a number of slots to Katsina State while allocating only 5 to a State like Akwa Ibom. To this end, the Service had been accused of abandoning the Federal Character Principle which is obviously stated in Section 14, subsection 3 of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria. It's condemnable - MiteeTo Ledum Mitee, former leader of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, MOSOP, the lopsided DSS recruitment is condemnable. Another Benin based legal practitioner, Mr Olayiwola Afolabi, described the latest DSS recruitment as "Corruption in Appointments".
